List of things to send

Parcels may be sent through regular post, some countries will not send surface mail parcels so the cost by airmail can be very expensive! Some people send items and then plan with friends to have a coffee morning or other fund raiser to cover the cost of postage. If you would like to help in this way the parcel should be carefully labelled and covered in plastic and sent to:

Karin v/d Bosch or Ruth C. Kennedy
Abraham's Oasis , PO Box 64
Shire-Endaselassie
Tigray, Ethiopia, Africa
